Türkiye central bank economic indicators

Overview

Economic data from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye indicates shifts in the nation’s reserves and debt obligations. In mid-October, total reserves rose to $171.575 billion, driven by a $4.241 billion increase in gross foreign exchange reserves, despite a minor decrease in gold reserves. Concurrently, reports on short-term external debt show the total stock reached $176.6 billion in August. When including debt due within one year regardless of original maturity, the total is $243.3 billion. While debt from the banking sector declined by 1.6% to $76.3 billion, cash credit obligations in other sectors saw a 6.6% increase, reaching $10 billion. The composition of the $176.6 billion debt is led by the US dollar at 34 percent, the euro at 27.1 percent, and the Turkish lira at 25.6 percent. By the week ending October 16, 2026, preliminary calculations indicated that total reserves had fallen by approximately $2.5 billion to an estimated $169.1 billion. This downward trend continued into the week ending October 23, 2026, when gross foreign reserves dropped by approximately $6.9 billion, a 4.1 percent decrease, bringing total reserves to roughly $162.2 billion. This decline affected both foreign exchange assets, which fell to $59.1 billion, and gold reserves, which decreased by 3.6 percent to $103.1 billion. Net international reserves were reported at $42.84 billion for that period. Detailed reporting for the week ending October 23 confirms that total reserves fell by $6.906 billion, dropping from $169.097 billion to $162.191 billion.
